It opens on a C chord, and it walks 
down to a to a C with a B bass note, 
and then to an open a string with an 
A-minor chord. You hit the the A-string 
once and pick downward in whatever way 
feels right. But the important thing is 
the walk-down of the C bass note, to the 
B, to the open A. Got it? 
[Verse 1]
CJust beC/Bcause I don't Amsay anything
FDoesn't Gmean I don't Amlike you
CI opened my C/Bmouth and I Amtried and I tried
FBut no Gwords came Amout
CWithout 40 C/Bounces of Amsocial skills
I'm just an Fass in the Gcrack of humAmanity
FI'm Gjust a huge Ammanatee
     F  GA huge Ammanatee
[Chorus]
AmAnd besides you're probably Cholding Ghands 
With some Fskinny pretty girl that likes to Ctalk about Gbands and

If you want you can also play it in the key of G. 
Instead of playing C, down to C/B to Aminor, you 
can start on a G, and walk the low E-String down 
to an F#, and then play an Eminor instead of an
 A minor. Then instead of F, G, Am, it would be C, D, Em. Cool?

C/B

It opens on a C chord, and it walks

down to a to a C with a B bass note,

and then to an open a string with an

A-minor chord. You hit the the A-string

once and pick downward in whatever way

feels right. But the important thing is

the walk-down of the C bass note, to the

B, to the open A. Got it?
